Are you a client-focused individual with experience of advice work with a specific focus on housing issues, money and

within an exciting project that’s funded by The Social Innovation Fund and supported by the European Social Fund
(ESF) and Scottish Government.

Housing has become a national emergency that affects us all. At Shelter Scotland, we believe a safe home isn’t just a
fundamental need - it should be a right. That’s why, more than ever, this year and beyond we are leading the way
to a safe home. We’re going to rally the country to join us on our mission to rise up, speak with a united
voice, pick up the pieces and fix the underlying problem. Will you join our Time for Change team and help
us?

Time for Change focuses on the identification of local issues facing homeless people and, through involvement and
wider consultation, co-produces the design and delivery of a local response to tackle those issues. The project
is currently operating in Glasgow and a one-year pilot project was established in Dundee, which ran from October
2017. We have now secured funding to further develop this work in Dundee, as well as introducing this approach
to Aberdeen and Edinburgh.

About the role

As a Development Worker you'll be providing advice on all areas of housing, homelessness, money and debt and
welfare benefits. This will involve conducting detailed interviews with each client, agreeing their needs,
writing action plans and keeping accurate records. Establishing and developing relationships with relevant
external organisations and services will also be key in this interesting and challenging role.

About you

You’ll need experience of housing and/or debt and/or welfare benefit advice and experience of working with people
with a variety of issues in an advice and support environment. The ability to work with a wide variety of
stakeholders is important too, as is a proactive, client-focused and collaborative approach, great relationship
building skills, respect for others' opinions and the ability to deal effectively with change. You’ll need
to be able to use MS office applications and experience of using case management systems is desirable.

Benefits include 30 days’ annual leave, the possibility of flexible working, enhanced family friendly policies and
significant opportunities for learning and development.

Shelter Scotland helps over half a million people every year struggling with bad housing or homelessness through our
advice, support and legal services. And we campaign to make sure that, one day, no one will have to turn to us
for help.

Safeguarding is everyone’s business. Shelter Scotland is committed to protecting the health, wellbeing and human
rights of those we support, and enabling them to live free from harm, abuse and neglect. All our staff will be
expected to observe professional standards of behaviour and conduct their work in line with our Safeguarding
Policies.

them.

About the role

Based at our Community Hub in Aberdeen City Centre, your challenge will be to lead the project’s work and take
accountability for its success. This will involve engaging with people with experience of homelessness across
Aberdeen, developing opportunities for involvement and facilitating core groups and forums. We’ll also rely on
you to build and maintain relationships with a variety of stakeholders and ensure the individuals you engage
with are integral to service delivery. Seeing that your team, including paid staff and volunteers, deliver good
customer care, person centred support and effective outcomes for clients will be vital too, as will supporting
the Hub Manager to ensure contract and organisational targets are met and exceeded.

About you

This is an exciting and diverse role where you’ll be leading on the delivery of this workstream in Aberdeen, so
you’ll definitely need to have developed and run administration systems, assisted with finances, including
budgets, ideally in a customer-facing environment. You’ll also need excellent communication skills, not least as
the role involves communicating with a variety of audiences. The success of this work is dependent on assertive
outreach too, so you’ll need to be a confident and enthusiastic individual who can self-manage and
self-motivate. The ability to manage and collate data, carry out analysis and write reports is a key skill.
Whilst experience of working with people experiencing multiple and complex needs is desirable, it is not as
important as your ability to engage with people, develop relationships and create opportunities for meaningful
involvement.

Benefits include 30 days’ annual leave, the possibility of flexible working, enhanced family friendly policies and
significant opportunities for learning and development.
